How do I stop email autofill when completing forms/sign-ons on my iPhone or MacBook Air Whenever I'm asked to submit a username that contains my email address it double adds the email address...I can type my email address up to the period for .com and nothing happens. However, when I type the period, it adds my email for a second time and then I have to go back and erase the duplicate letters/numbers. Here is what it would look like... mickey_mouse@gmail.commickey_mouse@gmail.com. I've tried clicking on the blue hyperlink, but rather than competing my email, it does nothing. Most the time I don't see the hyperlink so both emails are entered. How can I turn this off? I see instructions for Safari, but I never use safari...I use Google.

No, didn't help much. First I don't understand some of those directions, and couldn't make it 'work'. I can get to all those places - but don't understand what to put into those two spaces. In the first - just type in the email address I want it to PASTE? and then figure out a multiple key command ? I tried THAT and nothing 'stuck' when I tried my command in an email. Os it possible to give me directions in plain English? I AM an IT dummy. Thx.

Apple Menu, System Preferences… or in the Dock.

Open Keyboard and click on Text tab.

NO. I've seen this list. I want to make MY EMAIL paste when I type i.e., 12xyz, or some such. Whenever and wherever I type that shortcut.

Use Keyboard System Prefs to create a text replacement.

You could use something like eml to auto-expand to your address. Some apps may not support text replacement.
